Aria smiled the entire way up and out of the Department of Mysteries. Her attitude and depression from that morning had completely done a full turn around and she now felt the lightest and happiest she had ever been (besides the times she spent making love to Lucius of course). She had the truth of their love, although she still had to do a bit of research, and she still also had to go see Hermione and Harry who were going to help her with Lucius' trial. She had a good feeling that things would work out. With a love as strong and powerful as her and Lucius shared, it couldn't not work out.

Aria didn't even bother to go back to her desk and work. Too much had happened that morning for her mind to go back to normal mode and instead she took one of the large fireplaces in the atrium of the Ministry and Floo powdered, back to the Manor, not caring in the slightest that she was ditching work. The Manor seemed to embrace her return, as she was now the sole owner and heir of the famous property, and she sent out a silent wave of love and adoration for the building, letting it know it was taken care of and loved, and that its true master would be home soon.

She immediately went up to the library. Lucius' library was so vast and impressive, she knew she would find what she needed in there, although part of her did wonder if only perhaps Hogwarts would have had a better selection. Although she didn't exactly feel like a "creature" herself, she knew she would have to look in the Magical Creatures section of the library. Veelas were considered more than just human so she knew that she couldn't just look in the muggle, witch or wizard history sections. As she scanned her eyes over the section of books in the Malfoy library pertaining to magical creatures, her eyes fell on a large grey book which title read, "Ancient Magical Creatures." Aria instantly thought of the amazing images she had seen of her and Lucius in the Chamber of Love back at the Department of Mysteries. Their love had seemed to span time and she knew their bond was an ancient and powerful type of love. This book would be a good place to start; hopefully there would be a section about Veelas.

Aria opened up the thick book and was happy to find her intuition was right. There was a rather large section about Veelas towards the back of the book. Her eyes grew wide as she took in the text and her heart beat fast as she smiled and reveled in what the text revealed to her.

Veela

Veelas are ancient magical beings, typically female, although occasionally male, who are often identifiable by their white-blonde hair and often times glowing and luminescent skin, and most notably, their surpassing beauty. Veelas are so beautiful in fact, that they are often known to be able to hypnotize others, just by their beauty alone. Veelas have their own type of magic, which does not require a wand, which makes them one of the most powerful types of beings. Their hair also contains magical properties and is suitable for use within a wand, as its core. Veelas are reported to be an even older and more ancient species than witches and wizards.

Native to Bulgaria, Veelas are mostly discovered in parts of Europe such as France, Scotland, Ireland and Norway being major locations for Veelas to live and thrive. There are almost no full blooded Veelas in the world anymore, as over the millennia, Veelas have mated with witches and wizards. Most beings with Veela blood will have the magical powers from their witch or wizard parent and the beauty and charm from their Veela parent. However, there are still some very powerful and prominent Veela families in Bulgaria and France. One such famous Veela family, the Delacours, rose to fame when a young Fleur Delacour, garnered notoriety when she competed in the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1994.
